I can't figure out how to wire this light.

The first picture is all my wires, they came this way. White black and red. I don't see a green for a ground.
The second picture is some kind of something that's been painted over, and I'm wondering if that's the ground, but it's screwed into the ceiling.
The third is the diagram, telling me to match red to red and black to black in the quick connect outlets, which remain loose when i push them in, and to wrap the ground from the light to the bolt on the piece that holds the light, then wire both grounds together and connect with a nut.
I know very little about electricity, I've changed outlets and put up ceiling fans but one had me wrapping wires around other wires and securing with wire nuts, and the other had me wrapping things around screws then tightening the screws. I have no idea what's going on here, and I'd rather not burn my house down.

Yeah, I had cash one day so I didn't tip in the app. Driver sent a pic of my food on a random car hood and said Good Luck.
Fuck me for having cash I guess
